Proposed Change in Rules ana heSuia-
tions-Applications for Positions.
The regular monthly meeting OF the CITY
Board of Education was held last evening
at the Office of the City Superintendent.
Present Chairman Conklin, Directors
Davis, Slater, Todd, Hopkins and Chip
man.
The various committees made their
monthly reports. The Building and Re
pair Committee reported several improve
ments to the outbuildings Of the High
School and the Perry Seminary buildings.
By request, Director Hopkins introduced
the following proposed rule, which was
laid over for consideration at the next regu-
lar meeting:
Principals and teachers will not allow, dur
ing school hours, any one TO make speeches,
lecture, or examine classes, etc., except me
members of the Board of Education and CITY
Superintendent, and none others except by per
mission of a majority OF the members OF the
Board of Education neither to allow criticisms
of teachers or pupils during school hours anu IN
the presence OF the class.
This caused some comment in the
Board, when Chairman Conklin said he
fathered the resolution. He did not wish
to discuss it, and if it did not meet with
the appreciation of the members OF the
Board it could be voted down at the next
meeting. Just who it is aimed az, and
what evil it is intended to correct, could
not be ascertained.

Director Hopkins, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Rules and Regulations, read the
following communication
rantf owl
Dear Sir: We would respectfully suggest that
the summer vacation commence and close
about ten days earlier than heretofore BY this
plan the last term in the school year, winch Is
the hardest and hottest, will be shortened about
ten days. and the fall term heightened the same
number so that the children will lose no school
time. The schools would then begin the Mon
day following the close of the State Fair, which
would be some time from the 10th to 10th OF
September. Respectfully submitted.
